Smashwords Pulls E-Books That Offend Paypal

Then tell me how you feel about PayPal dictating what Smashwords can sell. Sure, the site's turned into Smutwords lately. But offensive material is the price you pay for a 100% free market of written material.

My view is that PayPal needs to think hard about taking the moral high ground. Because if it wants to "go there," it needs to look at every transaction it processes.

As far as I know, Amazon doesn't use PayPal at all. To buy from Amazon, you have to open an Amazon account with a credit card or a debit card. So Amazon can decide all by itself what it does or doesn't want to sell.

Maybe Literotica, that's where most of the stuff is stolen from, you know, or so I heard...

If it's actually profitable Smashwords will likely start up another company, Smashedwords, and use something other than PayPal for the transactions. It's the Meatgrinder software that makes Smashwords what it is, isn't it?
